📜 Backstory
Offered as 'MCC Blue Octospawn' by Motor City Corals (with a profile listed on reefs.com) and discussed among blue/green/purple octospawn collections on reef2reef. Blue is one of the scarcer color forms in the trade; these are wild-collected colored colonies rather than a tracked designer-cultured line, and grade varies between vendors. Origin debated beyond the wild-collection point.
Keeper tips for this variant
Blue tones read best under cooler, blue-spectrum light; keep flow gentle and indirect so the heads inflate evenly.
